This poster is printed on 150g Earth Pact paper, an eco-friendly stock made from 100% sugar cane fiber. The artwork was meticulously hand-carved into linoleum by the Maestros of La Linterna, translating the iconic features and charismatic aura of Maelo into a bold, tactile visual. Each piece is individually struck on our historic typographic presses dating back to the 1870s and 1890s, ensuring that the physical weight of history and the “sentimiento” of his voice are felt in every print.
